Thermal plasticity in Drosophila melanogaster populations from eastern Australia: quantitative traits to transcripts.

Abstract excerpt

The flexibility afforded to genotypes in different environments by phenotypic plasticity is of interest to biologists studying thermal adaptation because of the thermal lability of many traits. Differences in thermal performance and reaction norms can provide insight into the evolution of thermal adaptation to explore broader questions such as species distributions and persistence under climate change. One...
